Weekend Fun

On Friday afternoon I took the younger kids to The Bounce House and they played happily on the inflatables, the rock climbing wall, and the Beam projector for almost two hours.  (Thanks for the punch pass, Suz!) I think their favorite thing was trying to bury each other in the foam pit at the rock climbing wall.  Can you spot all four kids in the top right picture?

We had great weather on Saturday, so Ben actually took the younger kids to a playground for a while in the afternoon before we started getting ready for Oma's concert.

But the weather did a 180 the next day, and a big snowstorm hit Sunday night.  We decided on an indoor activity for Monday (President's Day), taking all the kids to a little family fun center where we all have passes.  We played a game of laser tag and the kids took advantage of the free arcade games, but then we had to leave so Cat could get to her friend's house and Ben needed to go into the office.  Once I'd dropped off Cat, I thought I'd find something else to do with the younger kids.  I asked if they wanted to go sledding but they were adamant that they did NOT want to be in the snow.  It was too cold and they'd had enough of it.  They wanted to go back to the family fun center and enjoy more free arcade games (free because the arcade part of the facility is in a state of transition right now) and rock climbing and Frog Hopper riding.  So we did.  And they loved it, and they were sad again when we left the second time.
